That is your delusion and/or your Obama delusion and/or your Salinky delusion.
The public blames BOTH Bush AND Obama for the financial situation. Actually it blames Bush and the Democrat Congress elected in 2006, AND Obama and the Democrat Congress elected in 2006.
Bush and his "go along to get along" bipartisan behavior led to his failure to publically and persistently attack the Fannie and Freddie distructive loan practices, which were the primary causes of the start of the recession. Also his TARP signing made things even worse.
Obama and his Salinsky influenced "blame Bush" strategy has led to not only a continuation of the Fannie and Freddie distructive loan practices, and TARP, but their huge expansions. Worse, Obama's Stimuluses have greatly reduced even further the amount of wealth available from the private sector for investment in job growth.

The radical is not a reformer of the system but its would-be destroyer;
The most basic principle for radicals is lie to opponents and disarm them by pretending to be moderates and liberals;
The radical organizer does not have a fixed truth"truth to him is relative and changing; everything to him is relative and changing;
The issue is always the revolution;
The stated cause is never the real cause, but only an occasion to advance the real cause which is accumulation of power to make the revolution;
The radical is building his own kingdom, a kingdom of heaven on earth.
